build-measure-learn

build-measure-learn is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ace3000chao/book2startup. It costs 58 tokens per session (1,225 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

The Build-Measure-Learn cycle is a repeated way to turn an idea into something testable, observe customer feedback, and decide what to change. It treats product development as an ongoing feedback loop rather than a one-time launch.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan small releases, measure real user behavior, interpret the results, and choose whether to continue with the current direction or change it.
Why use it?
It helps teams avoid building feature after feature without knowing whether the product is moving in the right direction.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

build-measure-learn scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Skill: Build-Measure-Learn循环

Metadata

  • ID: leanstartup-002
  • 类型: framework
  • 来源: 《精益创业》引言+第五章
  • 验证状态: ✅ 三重验证通过(V1: 全书核心, V2: 每日决策, V3: 非常识)

R — Reading(原文引用)

"新创企业的基本活动是把点子转化为产品,衡量顾客的反馈,然后认识到是应该改弦更张还是坚守不移。所有成功的新创企业的流程步骤都应该以加速这个反馈循环为宗旨。"

I — Interpretation(方法论骨架)

BML循环的核心洞察:创业不是一条直线(计划→执行→评估),而是一个不断加速的循环

  • 开发(Build):不是"做完产品",而是"把想法转化为可以测试的形式"
  • 测量(Measure):不是"看数据涨跌",而是"确认我们获得了关于假设的真实反馈"
  • 认知(Learn):不是"学到了新东西",而是"证明或证伪了一个关键假设,决定坚持还是转型"

质量标准不是"功能多少",而是"这个循环转得多快"。

A1 — Past Application(书中案例)

IMVU的教训:作者团队花了6个月开发产品发布后,没有任何用户。但他们没有把"发布"当成终点,而是把"发布"当成循环的起点——每天追踪顾客行为、每周迭代,最终找到正确的产品方向。

Facebook的快速迭代:不是"想好所有功能再发布",而是每次只发布一个功能,观察数据,立刻决定是坚持还是调整。

A2 — Future Trigger(何时调用)

当你听到以下问题时,就应该调用这个Skill:

  • "产品发布后,下一步该做什么?"
  • "我怎么知道我们的方向是对的?"
  • "我们要不要做一个新功能/进入新市场/改变定价?"
  • "团队在争论该不该坚持当前方案,怎么裁决?"
  • "产品迭代了很多版本,但不确定是否真的在进步"

E — Execution(可执行步骤)

步骤1:确认当前循环的位置

问自己:这个循环现在卡在哪里?

  • 是不知道该开发什么?(想法太多,没有优先级)
  • 是开发了但没有测量反馈?(发布了就完事)
  • 是测了数据但不知道代表什么?(数据一堆,没有洞察)
  • 是知道方向错了但不敢调整?(缺乏转型勇气)

步骤2:为每个活动计时

开发时间:从想法到"能获取用户反馈的产品"要多久?

  • 目标:越短越好,目标≤1周
  • 如果超过1个月,问:"能否拆解成更小的可测试单元?"

测量时间:从发布到"获得有统计意义的数据"要多久?

  • 目标:越短越好,目标≤2周
  • 如果超过1个月,问:"是否有更快的验证方式?"

认知时间:从数据到"知道该坚持还是转型"要多久?

  • 目标:当天或次日决策
  • 如果超过1周,问:"数据是否清晰到可以决策?"

步骤3:问核心问题

"我们把时间投入哪个环节,能最大化加速整个循环?"

把资源集中在拖慢整个循环的那个环节

步骤4:建立"加速"的定义

不要笼统说"加快迭代",要具体:

  • 从想法到用户反馈:原来X天 → 目标Y天
  • 从数据到决策:原来X天 → 目标Y天
  • 每月迭代次数:原来X次 → 目标Y次

B — Boundary(何时不适用)

不适用场景 原因
基础研究/长期技术研发 这类工作的反馈周期本身就很长,无法按"周"计算
高度监管的产品(药品/航空) 合规要求限制了迭代速度
B2B大型复杂销售 一个销售周期可能数月,不适合快速BML循环

作者盲点提醒:BML循环的"快"是有代价的——它要求团队习惯"不完美"并容忍频繁的方向调整。对于追求完美或权威导向的团队,这个循环会让成员焦虑。

  • 转型决策树 — "Learn"阶段的产出决定是否需要转型

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

build-measure-learn is a skill published in the GitHub repository ace3000chao/book2startup (80 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 1,225 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
